Even if Yao Rong didn't say it, Ye Heqi could guess that this opportunity to go out was something that her mother had fought hard for.

Just to take her out for a walk.

Ye Heqi hugged Yao Rong's arm tightly and put his face on Yao Rong's shoulder, not letting Yao Rong see her reddened eyes: "Then we have to go out early tomorrow, so that we can stay outside for a while." ”

Yao Rong patted Ye Heqi's head and responded with a smile, "Okay".

Early the next morning, Yao Rong went to Ye Heqi's room with a vase of flower arrangements, stood outside the window and asked Ye Heqi, "Are you okay?" ”

By the way, replace yesterday's old flower arrangement with a new flower arrangement.

"Alright." Ye Heqi answered in the house, and hurriedly tied the braids.

"Then let's go."

"Won't you go out after breakfast?" Ye Heqi asked.

"Let's go out to eat."

"Okay!"

Ye Heqi walked out with braided flowers, his steps were brisk, and his eyes were crooked.

Yao Rong was infected by her mood, and couldn't help laughing: "Then let's go, Wang Ma is waiting for us at the door." ”

Yao Rong and Ye Heqi were not familiar with Beiping, so Yao Rong greeted Wang Ma in advance and asked Wang Ma to accompany them out.

The three of them first went to a wonton shop at the entrance of the alley and ordered three bowls of wontons and a bowl of old tofu.

This shop is not far from Ye Mansion, and sometimes Mrs. Ye wants to improve the taste of the house, so she will send a maid here to pack it back, so Ye Heqi has also tasted the craftsmanship of this shop a few times.

But for some reason, she always felt that today's wontons and old tofu were more delicious than usual.

"It's delicious, I feel like I'll be able to have another bowl when I'm done." Ye Heqi boasted.

Yao Rong smiled: "I eat it and it tastes similar to usual." ”

Wang Ma said: "Miss Yes is in a good mood today, so I think everything I eat is delicious." ”

When the food in front of her was almost eaten, Yao Rong took what Ye Heqi had just said and asked her, "Do you want another bowl?" ”

Ye Heqi shook his head, completely forgetting his arrogant words: "If you don't come, you won't come." I'm going to keep a little bit of my stomach and there's something else to eat waiting for me. ”

Yao Rong couldn't help but smile.

There were a lot of rickshaws parked at the entrance of the alley, and as soon as Yao Rong and the others got out of the shop, a rickshaw driver came to them with the car and asked them where they were going.

Wang Ma said the name of a street.

It is one of the busiest streets in Beiping, with almost all types of shops gathered.

There are also many shops owned by foreigners.

After getting into the rickshaw, Ye Heqi looked left and right, only to feel that everything was fresh, and pulled Yao Rong to comment.

The rickshaw driver of Laye Heqi asked with a smile: "Isn't Miss a local?" ”

Ye Heqi was stunned: "...... Why do you ask? ”

The rickshaw driver said: "I have been driving a rickshaw in Peking for more than ten years, and the environment in this area has hardly changed, but listening to the words of the young lady, it is as fresh as the first time I have seen it." ”

Yao Rong glanced at Ye Heqi, who had a blank expression, and Wen Sheng took over the conversation: "Laugh, my daughter and I don't go out often, it's rare to go out, she is in a good mood, and everything is fresh." ”

The rickshaw driver was stunned.

This topic can be regarded as a revelation here, but Ye Heqi's thoughts are still stuck on the words that the rickshaw driver said casually.

She saw that everything was new, and partly because it was like what her mother said. But is there still part of the reason that it is because of the novelty of modern people looking at the Republic of China?

Today happens to be market day.

At this point, the streets are already lively, all the shops are open to do business, and there are many ordinary people who set up small stalls on the side of the street to start small businesses.

As soon as Yao Rong got off the rickshaw, he grabbed Ye Heqi's arm.

Ye Heqi came back to his senses: "Mother, why are you trembling." ”

Yao Rong was not only trembling in his body, but also trembling in his voice: "Heqi, my mother is a little scared." There are so many people on this street, my mother hasn't seen so many people for a long time. ”

Of the two people, often one shows cowardice, and the other becomes braver than usual.

Ye Heqi suddenly felt a sense of courage and responsibility in her heart, she patted the back of Yao Rong's cold hand, and comforted: "Mother, don't be afraid. There are a lot of people here, so you have to hold me tight. ”

Yao Rong showed a pale and weak smile: "My mother is not afraid, my mother has not been in the market for too long, and she is a little nervous." ”

Speaking of this, Yao Rong leaned into Ye Heqi's ear again and whispered, "And there are a lot of things here that I haven't seen before." ”

"What's that?"

Yao Rong raised his chin and motioned for Ye Heqi to look in a certain direction.

Ye Heqi looked over and saw that it was a shop selling cosmetics, many women dressed in modern clothes went in and out, and one woman was still holding a box of white things in her hand.

"This one, this one is called alabaster, and it's used to wipe your face. The weather in Peking is dry, we can buy two boxes and go back to wipe our hands and faces. ”

"I look at the packaging is very good, is it expensive?"

When it comes to the specific price, Ye Heqi really doesn't know. She led Yao Rong and walked towards the shop: "It shouldn't be expensive." Mother, let's go inside and have a look. I've saved up all these years and haven't used my monthly money, so I can buy you a lot of alabaster cream. ”

Yao Rong had a smile on his face, but he still said: "My mother took you out, where do you need to pay for it." ”

Ye Heqi said: "How can this be the same. This is a gift I bought for my mother, and of course I have to pay for it. ”

Frankly speaking, Ye Fu has not treated Yao Rong and Ye Heqi much in terms of eating and drinking, and will also give them monthly money every month, which has been accumulated for a long time, which is also a lot of money.

Entering the store, Yao Rong's eyes were a little insufficient.

Ye Heqi looked around and found that there were still relatively few types of goods sold in the store.

"Mother, this is alabaster, you have just seen it."

"And this, as you surely recognize, is that of the thrush. I don't know how long the box of snails in your house has been sitting, let's buy a new box and go back. ”

"Ah, I also know this, goose egg powder, it is a century-old brand, after buying it back, you can not only pounce on your face to make your complexion look whiter, but you can also put it there to smoke the house. The taste is fragrant. ”

"And this one is lipstick. It's rouge. ”

Yao Rong nodded again and again, but she didn't ask for anything else, only picked up two boxes of alabaster.

"I don't need anything else, so I'll buy two boxes of alabaster first, one for you and one for me."

"Okay then."

Ye Heqi deserved to be a little reluctant, and when she went out after settling the account, she was still a little reluctant to turn back.

If her mother dresses up well, and then changes the loose and fat coat on her body into a long skirt, and then puts on high heels and accessories, she will definitely be very beautiful.

It's a pity that Yefu has strict rules, and her mother has never worn a Western-style long skirt.

Thinking of the cheongsam, Ye Heqi's mind moved.

Yes, even if she can't buy it, she can take her mother to see it first.

Her mother has been trapped in Yefu for too long, and she has no idea what the outside world has become, and she doesn't know what a woman can live a wonderful and beautiful life.

"Mother, I'll take you to another place."

Ye Heqi pulled Yao Rong and continued to walk forward.

Not long after, Ye Heqi saw a tailor's shop, and she said happily: "Mother, let's go over." ”

In Sue's tailor's shop.

Tailor Su handed a finished light green dress to the guest: "Ms. Zhou, how do you see how this skirt is done?" ”

The guest was a modernly dressed lady, dressed in the latest dress, with a pair of small black leather shoes with heels on her feet, and her long hair was slightly curly and hung down in front of her.

Hearing Tailor Su's words, Zhou Qihuai's eyes bent slightly: "Shopkeeper Su is polite, I have made so many clothes here with you, can I not believe in your craftsmanship." ”

Tailor Su smiled: "Okay, you wait a while, I'll iron it for you later." ”

Tailor Su took the cheongsam again, and when he caught a glimpse of Yao Rong's mother and daughter who stepped into the store, he greeted him with a smile.

Zhou Qihuai stood bored and glanced back at random.

This glance made her feel a little interesting.

The two who walked in had similar facial features, and they should be a mother and daughter, but unlike the mother who was obviously cramped and uneasy, the daughter behaved downright and generous.

Sure enough, as soon as she stood still in the store, it was her daughter who opened her mouth first: "Boss, do you have any ready-to-wear clothes here?" Can you let us see. ”

Tailor Su said: "Yes, there are some, but our ready-to-wear here is not for sale, just for display." If you want it, you have to tailor it. ”

Pointing to a few sets of skirts hanging not far away, Tailor Su said again: "The two guests watched slowly, and I will help this old customer iron his clothes first." ”

Ye Heqi pulled Yao Rong forward.

Yao Rong walked along Ye Heqi's strength, noticed Zhou Qihuai's gaze, and smiled politely at Zhou Qihuai.

Zhou Qihuai smiled back and withdrew his gaze.

After all, it was a meeting in Pingshui, and if it took too long, it would seem a little offensive.

But the sound of the mother and daughter still reaching Zhou Qihuai's ears from time to time.

"Mother, look at whether these clothes look good."

"It's good-looking, it's just that this waistline is too tight......"

"That's pretty, if you don't cinch the waist, the upper body of the skirt will look very bloated. If you have a good figure, who doesn't like to show off your good figure, not to please others, just to make yourself look beautiful and pleasing yourself. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Qihuai couldn't help but turn his head to look at Ye Heqi.

Originally, he just thought that Ye Heqi had a good temperament, but when he heard that Ye Heqi, a little girl, could actually say the opinion of "not to please others, but to please yourself", Zhou Qihuai was suddenly shocked.

Ye Heqi seemed to have thought of something, and said to Yao Rong: "Mother, the sister we just came in and saw, is she very good-looking, and she has a special temperament in her gestures." You can also dress up like that later. ”

As a result, as soon as he turned his head, he collided with Zhou Qihuai's sight.

Ye Heqi blinked his eyes, and his face was a little embarrassed.

Oops, this sister won't hear what she says.

After trying to recall, Ye Heqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Anyway, she's praising people, and even if she is heard, it won't get in the way.

Yao Rong also saw Zhou Qihuai and took the initiative to say hello to Zhou Qihuai: "Hello, my daughter's words are offended." ”

Zhou Qihuai pursed his lips and chuckled: "No offense." ”

As he was talking, Tailor Su came over with the ironed skirt: "Ms. Zhou, the skirt is ready, I'll put it up for you." ”

"Not yet." Zhou Qihuai stopped Tailor Su's movements, and invited Yao Rong and Ye Heqi loudly, "Do you two want to come and see this skirt in my hand, this is the latest style from Shanghai." ”：，，
